Congrats!  I just received an email that my Plat card is in the mail.  I'm early in my rebuilding stages and have learned A LOT by stalking these here forums.  Keep up the good work and good practices.

I would suggest addressing whatever is holding you Equifax score down so much. Cap One uses Equifax for scoring (though they triple pull) and if you get that one up close to 600 you should be able to get an unsecured Cap One card. If TU is really 715, apply with Barclays, they pull TU.

I had the secured, then qualified for the platinum. Kicking myself for not getting the Quicksilver for cash back but the no AF is so sweeeeeeet. 

 

Congrats on the CLI!!!

I am mixed about all of this. I asked for a CLI on my secured Cap1 and they stated that the type of card wasn't eligible. I didn't have to put the full $200 for security. I applied for QS and it took 3 days for an approval. Maybe my credit is more screwed.

You can't ask for a CLI on the Secured, they just decide to give it to you. :/   Sucks, I know.

 

HOWEVER, you got the QS though, right?  That most likely will be Credit Steps Program, a guaranteed CLI after 5 monthly payments on time.
